Cycle Timeframes

Applicant Portal

The Applicant Portal opens in early August and closes in early November, over a 15-month period.

Configuration Portal

Between late May and late July, configurations are entered into the prelaunch environment. The account team and University of Hawaiʻi review submitted configurations in July.

Outcomes

You can view new applicants in mid-August.

Program Participation Requirements

University of Hawaiʻi requires all programs to designate two contacts at your institution who will receive all communication from University of Hawaiʻi, including the configuration, application, and Outcomes launch notifications.

Applicant Portal

The first three sections of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Graduate Division application (i.e., Personal Information, Academic History, and Supporting Information) compose the core application. They contain questions that are commonly asked of applicants across all participating programs, such as an applicant's biographic information, standardized test scores, and experiences. The fourth section of the application is Program Materials, which is customized by you through the Configuration Portal (discussed in the next section).

Configuration Portal

Use the Configuration Portal Quick Start Guide to make sure you configure your program(s) efficiently and completely in the prelaunch environment. Be sure to check out your CAS's configuration options and review the best practices found throughout. If any optional sections of the application are required for your program (e.g., experiences, test scores, etc.), you'll want to note this on your program home page.

Once you've configured your program, you'll need to have it approved by the account team and University of Hawaiʻi before it is available to applicants. If your program is reviewed after the cycle launches, the University of Hawaiʻi will approve it.
